Bah, probably comes up beside a joist and the hack who installed it was too lazy to header it off. Or it's installed next to a truss and it was either a 9 inch rough in, or make it a 16 inch rough in. either way ending up being crap.

9" rough-in!! There is no such thing as a 9" rough-in or 16" rough-in. Only 10,12, and 14. I have started going to 13" rough-in from stud wall. Because some of the newer toilets, the bowls being longer hit the shoe mold or 1/4 round on the floor.

I was an inspector(in another state). Attics and crawl spaces where not impediments to my inspections. Plumbers(not owners)first hand reputations where a bonus in difficult situations.
In the state I inspected in I was required to have a minimum of a journeyman's license and five year experience(plus continuing ED)...MIMIMUM!
So no pencil pushers , just plumbers.

you misinterpret, I'm referring to a flange "incorrectly" roughed in at 9 or 16 because a truss falls in an inconvienient place, not a purchasable product.

You would be the exception to the rule in the States I work in. We have combined inspectors for residential out here. Because of the work I do I have inspector certificates with IAMPO, ICC and ICBO. When I have to sit for a test with a room full of inspectors I am in an out in 15 minutes than wait 4-hours for the second half of the test. Some of the inspectors use the entire 3-hours and still don't finish.

1/2" for rock and a 3/4" base (max) is more likely I think, which would be a 10-1/4" rough.

I don't know how the home warranty system works in NC, or if they even have one, but here in NJ it is 10 years on a new home and it doesn't matter how many times its sold. Whoever owns it at the time is covered in that 10 years.

same here. 10 years on latent defects/ hidden and 1 year on everyday seen issues. such as a toilet or faucet leaking.

dunbar, toto makes some great toilets that have a subbase that fit 10,12, 14''. the subbase requires bolting to the floor and typical water ruff usually requires 8'' left of c/l.
